    Damn good. Mark Kozelek is rocking out, yes he is older, this happens to all of us eventually. Great song from a great album.

      Zaczek Leszek why you even mention his age? No one cares really. Its art, not pop songs.

    They’re using an original Roland Space Echo. I love me some tape delay. It’s between the amp head and speaker case behind Mark.
